The iconic beagle, Snoopy that was birthed in the world by creator Charles M. Schulz, back in the 50's - finally made a mark with his fellow cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse, Shrek, Tinker Bell, and 12 other fictional characters upon the arrival of his very own star on Hollywood Boulevard, placed right next to Schulz. The pooch's plaque, number 2,563 was set days ahead of his feature film, The Peanuts Movie, AFP reports.

Snoopy, the beloved cartoon beagle was based on Schulz's own family dog named Spike. It first appeared in the Peanuts comic strip on Oct. 4, 1950 and has since assumed many roles such as a World War I flying ace, famous writer, lawyer, astronaut, hockey player among them that "rivals many Hollywood legends."  

Although at first Snoopy's humanlike tendencies were more subtle than in later years, he has evolved in to an adventurous, character actor today, says Jean Schulz, Charles' widow who sits as board president at the Charles Schulz Museum and Research Center in Santa Rosa, California. She even explains that it was only after two years,in 1952 when Snoopy was able to speak a word. But the genius of Charles Schulz surely found creative ways for his character, Snoopy to communicate.

As Variety writes, "Snoopy was doing some very clever things and Sparky was using him for visual humor," Jean Schulz says, referring to her late husband by his nickname. For example, in one strip that depicts a baseball game, Snoopy puts his ears out to call safe. In another, the kids play hide-and-seek. "Someone runs past him and he points that ear out," she laughs."

"No one is more deserving than Snoopy to have a star on the Walk of Fame next my dad's, and my dad would be so honored to have all you folks here to come out to wish Snoopy the best," Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz's son Craig said at the star's achievement.

"Snoopy, you deserve it. I'm gonna give you a dog bone when we get home." 

The Peanuts Movie - arrives in theaters in 3-D on Friday.
